Psychophysical approach to clinical judgment of low T scores on the MMPI.

Presented randomly and individually T scores on the MMPI, ranging from 30-110, to 14 PhD clinicians in Minnesota and 18 clinicians in Kansas for evaluation of pathology. Ss showed low agreement on 2 scales (Pa and Ma) and were significantly different on 7 out of the 10 scales. Minnesota judges tended to regard low scores as representing less pathology and to view pathology in a linear manner. Limitations of the study are noted.
